  • Shared Streets and Alleyways – White Paper
    City of Ashland, Ashland Transportation System Plan Shared Streets and Alleyways – White Paper To: Jim Olson, City of Ashland Cc: Project Management Team From: Adrian Witte and Drew Meisel, Alta Planning + Design Date: February 2, 2011 Re: Task 7.1.O White Paper: “Shared Streets and Alleyways” - DRAFT Direction to the Planning Commission and Transportation Commission Five sets of white papers are being produced to present information on tools, opportunities, and potential strategies that could help Ashland become a nationwide leader as a green transportation community. Each white paper will present general information regarding a topic and then provide ideas on where and how that tool, strategy, and/or policy could be used within Ashland. You will have the opportunity to review the content of each white paper and share your thoughts, concerns, questions, and ideas in a joint Planning Commission/Transportation Commission meeting. Based on discussions at the meeting, the material in the white paper will be: 1) Revised and incorporated into the alternatives analysis for the draft TSP; or 2) Eliminated from consideration and excluded from the alternatives analysis. The overall intent of the white paper series is to explore opportunities and discuss the many possibilities for Ashland. Shared Streets Introduction Shared Streets aim to provide a better balance of the needs of all road users to improve safety, comfort, and livability. They are similar to European concepts such as the Dutch based ‘Woonerf’ and the United Kingdom’s ‘Home Zone’, with some distinct differences. This balance is accomplished through integration rather than segregation of users. By eschewing many of the traditional roadway treatments such as curbs, signs, and pavement markings, the distinction between modes is blurred.

  • Bird Rock1-4
    LA JOLLA HERMOSA La Jolla Hermosa Boulevard BACKGROUND This historic trolley car street has an unusual width for present day residential homes. Block lengths are very long in several areas, adding to potential for speeding. 6' 6’ 10’ 4' 10’ 6' 6' Residents are concerned with speed (31 mph in most ROW 50 Feet areas), and the wide crossing distances for pedestrians. Typical Cross Section Some spillover commercial and work center parking Bike Lanes affects residents. Refuge Islands V PHASE ONE Tree Wells Maintain full The Walkable Communities proposed plan includes access to all bike lanes. The southern portion can provide diagonal driveways parking on one or both sides of the roadway. Traffic volumes here are very low, and a narrower lane street section will create a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Bike lanes should be dropped in this section, allowing more maneuvering width for bicyclists. A mini-roundabout is also recommended for Forward and La Jolla Hermosa for this phase. A mini-roundabout on La Jolla Hermosa and Colima can also be considered for this phase. Bike lanes should be 6.0 feet wide and marked with an outer stripe, 8.0 inches wide. Parking lanes should be marked with 4.0 inch stripes, and be 6.0 to 7.0 feet wide. Travel lanes should be narrowed to about 10.0 feet. This reduced visual width to travel lanes can reduce speeding by many drivers. It is common to see reductions of speed of 7.0 miles per hour. PHASE TWO OR THREE Refuge islands (short medians) and increased landscaping can be added in Phase Two.

  • Active Transportation Plan
    Active Transportation Plan nd 2 Edition Adopted by the Fridley Council February 11, 2020 Engineering Department Community Development Department February 2020 1 Introduction The City of Fridley is committed to providing residents with safe opportunities for walking, biking, and other non-automobile transportation. The Active Transportation Plan (the Plan) guides the City’s planning and construction of infrastructure needed for a well-maintained sidewalk and trail system. The 1st edition of the Plan was written in 2013 based on the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan. In the following years, many of the Plan’s original goals have been achieved and a new 2040 Comprehensive Plan has been developed. This 2nd edition reflects the progress that has been made as well as the new Comprehensive Plan goals related to Active Transportation. Purpose This plan’s purpose is to guide the City’s installation and maintenance of infrastructure needed to achieve mobility equity and support opportunities for active transportation (walking, biking, assisted mobility, transit, etc.). It is well documented that increased walking and biking improves health and quality of life. Additionally, improved active transportation infrastructure can increase a community’s desirability, encourage higher spending at commercial establishments, and reduce crime. Shifting travel from vehicles to transit, bikes, and walkways also decreases the greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation, which is the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In a city such as Fridley, where residents face many barriers to movement due to high- volume roadways and railways, a well-developed trail and sidewalk network is particularly important to increasing sense of place and community connection.

  • Home Zone Concepts and New Jersey
    Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center Home Zone Concepts and New Jersey prepared by: Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center New Jersey Bicycle and Pedestrian Resource Center Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy prepared for: New Jersey Department of Transportation funded by: Federal Highway Administration November 2004 Home Zone Concepts and New Jersey Abstract This report probes the potential for the application of the Dutch concept of woonerf, or Home Zone, for the United States, and particularly New Jersey. In order to start a discussion about the feasibility of developing Home Zones in New Jersey, a historic overview of Home Zone development and an explanation of the concept’s design principles are presented first. Woonerf is a very adaptable concept, and approaches to utilizing it vary from one country to another. This is illustrated in case studies from the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom. However, they all highlight the fact that when Home Zones are used as part of a broader urban strategy to calm traffic, they result in increased livability and safety. In the United States, there are no Home Zones equal to the European model; but, there are domestic examples with goals and objectives in keeping with the Home Zone concept. This paper describes chronologically organized case studies from Asheville, North Carolina; Boulder, Colorado; West Palm Beach, Florida; and Kalamazoo, Michigan. They exemplify the fact that woonerf-like design in the United States has worked well and is becoming accepted. These successful applications illustrate the benefits of a Home Zone: · Reduced driving speeds and traffic volume · Increased safety, public health, neighborhood aesthetics, and social activity · Increased property desirability · Encouragement for nonmotorized traffic as a transportation mode · Enhanced mobility for vulnerable groups.

  • Lively Streets and Better Social Life ——A Case Study of Three Comparable Streets in Kristianstad
    Lively Streets and Better Social Life ——A case study of three comparable streets in Kristianstad Author: Qing Yang Supervisor: Gunnar Nyström Submitted to Blekinge Tekniska Högskola for the Master of Science Programme in Spatial Planning with an emphasis on Urban Design in Europe and China Karlskrona, Sweden 2012. 05. 18 i Abstract For much of the twentieth century, streets were designed to accommodate the ever increasing traffic flow, but it has become apparent that streets have many social and recreational functions which are severely impaired by fast car traffic. There is plenty of research on conditions for non-motorized transport and development of design measures on the streetscape to protect pedestrians and cyclists, but how places are made in the street is less studied and seldom implemented. In order to create more humanistic space in the street, we need to take consideration of people first, figure out how space can turn into a good place and which physical conditions will improve social life. This paper starts with pointing out the problems of ignoring social life in urban streets, and investigating the main theories and applications in contemporary western countries. After that, the thesis introduces literature on improving street life, including the books of Gehl: Cities for People (2010), New City Life (2006), and Burton and Mitchell: Inclusive Urban Design - Streets for life (2006), etc. Moreover, to see how these theories can be applied on a specific case, three streets in the town of Kristianstad are studied. This thesis is conducting an investigation on characteristics of these streets, observing social life in each street, and trying to figure out under which conditions does a street change from subduing social life to enhancing it.
